Are we deceiving
ourselves?
Africa is the world's second largest and second
most-populous continent. At about 30.3 million km² including adjacent islands,
it covers 6% of Earth's total surface area and 20.4% of its total land area.
Nigeria, an
African country on the Gulf of Guinea, has many natural landmarks and wildlife
reserves. Protected areas such as Cross River National Park and Yankari
National Park have waterfalls, dense rainforest, savanna and rare primate
habitats. One of the most recognizable sites is Zuma Rock, a 725m-tall monolith
outside the capital of Abuja that’s pictured on the national currency.
I pray that this book opens our eyes and change
our thinking of how we should end a war that we can’t explain how and when it
started.
In recent
times, Nigeria has been a country that has been on so many news headlines, not
because of the blessings they have acquired but because of the numerous crisis
that have been going on even up till now.
So many blamed
the political leaders for this crisis, others blamed religious leaders.
I can’t put
the blame on anyone but I think that we may have gotten it all mixed up because
these two (2) bodies are supposed to work hand in hand in leading the society
especially in Nigeria.
Now, I will be writing
some things that some may find offensive but it is okay to criticize so long
they are some traces of truth.
Nigeria is a
country for all, it is not meant for a particular people, region, ethnic group,
religion, tribe, or clique.
Some people
from the north are trying to make it look as if Nigeria is theirs forgetting
that the country is neither their inheritance nor the inheritance of any man
but it is for everyone.
The killing that has been
carried out so far in Nigeria has mainly been done by terrorist from the
northern part of Nigeria and since nothing has been done about it, they move
from the north to carry their plan to other region of the country.
Most of these
people from the north uses ammunition that are worth millions to carry out
their attack but at the end of the day, we hear questions like “who are these
people?, what do they want?, who are sponsoring their activities?. Please for
God sake lets be sincere to ourselves and say the truth. I dare to say that
most of these terrorist are being sponsored by the political people in the northern
region, with the aim of taking power to the north they terrorize those who are
not northerners. We are only fools when we know the truth but fail to admit it.
It is time we make a brave step to stop these blood sucking demons. But can we
stop them when we are deceiving ourselves?
The people who
are supposed to lead us to stopping them either does not know how or they are
stupid thinking that god will come down from heaven to help. There is a parable
that “says evil prevail when good men do nothing”. But some of us may ask, if
we know the truth they why are we not stopping them? These are some of the
reasons we have been unable to stop them.
1.Religious leaders: first of all I will be talking about the
Christendom; some of you may pardon me. But I will start by saying that “do not play with what you are supposed to
fight with, do not pamper what you are supposed to conquer”.
if you read
numbers 21 vs. 21 in the old testament, the bible was talking about how Israel
was seeking for permission to pass through a land called Sihon but in vs. 23
the bible said "But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his
territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together and went out against
Israel in the wilderness, and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel. Then
Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land
from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the people of Ammon".
But Christians today
don’t want to fight; they are praying themselves to death allowing blood
sucking demons to suck them dry. I know many will say that is Old Testament and
in the New Testament, the bible says we fight not against flesh and blood. Some
people just quote the bible with little or no understanding. Now look at the
chapter carefully “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this
age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places”.
Flesh and blood in the bible means carnal things. For example, a
man fighting over a woman who is not his wife is fighting for something that
can suit and satisfy his flesh. A man fighting over some amount of money is
fighting for what can only satisfy his interest.
Principalities and powers. Principalities in the English
dictionary mean authority or position held by a person or by groups of persons.
These people could be government in power, head of schools, head of religious
body or traditional leaders who are in charge of controlling ordinary people.
And now the
bible says we should fight against principalities where these authorities are
used as a threat to the society, it is important that we fight. It doesn’t
actually have to be a spiritual battle but if situation arise where it is a
physical battle, it is important to fight back. But nowadays you hear religious
leaders advising their congregation to fold their arms and just watch and pray.
I won’t just be watching and allowing some Fulani herdsmen to kill in my
community when I can actually defend myself with a weapon. Some people don’t
understand this that is why they fall victim to these terrorist. There is a
line in the same chapter that says “against
the rulers of darkness of this age”. So now how do we fight against the
rulers of darkness of this age? First of all we have to admit the truth because
you won’t want to fight a person if you have not admitted that the person is
your enemy. Secondly you have to be ready to fight whatever and whoever you
thing is bad. Jesus said none is good expect God, meaning that whatever is not
Godly is bad. Let me say this plain, we can’t keep claiming that we are one
nation when the northerners are causing nuisance, the northerners are bad
people and bad people only do bad things. They are devils and you don’t
negotiate with devils so I will advise every church, school, business
organizations to be ready to fight even when they tell you that they don’t want
to fight you. Now why will the Fulani herdsmen be giving privilege to
ammunitions when we Christians are not even allowed to carry weapons?
Christians should be ready to carry guns if they want to survive in the
country. Thirdly Churches only want to show case their services on the media
with the aim of winning souls. It is not a bad thing but what is the essence of
winning a soul if you cannot protect the soul under your roof or under your
church. Now the media should also be a means where the church can inform the
society about those who want to fight against the body of Christ because the
government doesn’t care and so won’t do it for them. Government office holders
are more concern with their families and their pocket so should pastors be
concern with their congregation and the gospel, don’t wait for the government.
So I urge every Christian body to expose the wrong doings of these blood
sucking demons from the north. Lastly, pray, in this new generation, people now
only pray for finances and material things forgetting that you can’t enjoy
these things in a war zone. In the bible, even David would seek the face of God
before going to war. I urge every Christian to pray for the nation, rather than
praying self-centered prayers, pray for the nation. In Matthew 17:21 the bible
says “Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” There are
things that cannot progress except we come and pray with one heart. We must
understand the ministry of intercession in Nigeria
2.Political leaders: for the record, I said
it, 95 percent of these political leaders are selfish and lazy. They are the
number one problem of the country, Nigeria.
With the
numerous parties and governmental personnel, we would have hoped that Nigeria
should be moving to a point where other countries would wish to be like us.
Most Nigeria
leaders are born liars who deceive the society with what propaganda is better
than. If it is stipulated that propaganda is an offense with a death sentence,
I will have to go for the post of those carrying out the sentence so that I can
send many politicians to their master who is Satan the fathers of all liars.
They steal money
and then take their families abroad, as if that is not enough, they take bribe
and give bribe and this has led to the problem Nigerians are suffering.
“Dear politicians, you are
took your families abroad after stealing money. You take bribe irrespective of
what the consequences may be because you don’t care who it may affect and you
give bribe to those who are supposed to be the leaders of tomorrow because you
wish to still be elected so that you can keep bribing them even after 20 years
forgetting that America is not your home, you are black and not white and one
day your children will have to come back to your country because they cannot be
allowed to rule in the white man’s land because their fathers were traitors to
their own country.
Karma is inevitable
and one day it will be you and generation turn”.
Yours faithfully

Nevertheless,
they are still some politicians who are still good and are ready to stand and
fight for what is right. I must urge those who are willing to stand up right,
those who are willing to make Nigeria a proud nation, those who want people to
respect them because they once led the country, those who want to look back and
be proud of themselves, those who want their children to be proud that their
fathers fought for their nation to stand up and fight for the Nigeria because
one day your children will have to inherit what you have sown.
I urge also
the society to abstain from any kind of money that will lead you into
destroying the country. Heroes are real and you can be one.
For those who
are avoiding trouble, what are you afraid of? What more can be worst? You fight
now and your generations live peacefully or you fear now and your generation
continues to fight the fight you refused to fight?
